Episode 5 – Zeus: The Olympian Revolt
Before Olympus reigned, a prophecy whispered doom to Cronus, ruler of the Titans. Consumed by fear, he devours his own children—until Rhea dares to defy him. Journey into the hidden infancy of Zeus, the child destined to topple the Titan’s tyranny.
In this episode, we uncover secrets of survival, divine conspiracies, and the hidden sanctuary in Crete where a god was forged in secrecy. From Rhea’s cunning deception with the stone to Zeus’s secret growth under the watchful eyes of nymphs and the wisdom of Métis, witness how a single child sparked a cosmic rebellion.
Highlights:
• The Prophecy’s Shadow – Cronus’s consuming fear.
• Rhea’s Cunning Veil – The stone that fooled a Titan.
